BioLite Kettle Charge Overview

Overview The new Kettle Charger from BioLite was inspired by the outdoors while keeping you prepared at home. At 10 Watts, it will charge your phone or tablet as fast as a wall outlet. Unlike a solar charger, this off-the-grid power is ready for action anytime of the day. An evolution of BioLite’s core thermoelectric technology, the KettleCharge uses the water you boil to produce electricity. It works on a wide range of stoves and serves as a perfect personal-scale generator for your everyday devices. Just fill, heat, charge.

What Makes It Unique The Thermoelectric Generator [TEG], located on the base of the KettleCharge, uses a difference in temperature to produce electricity. This comes from having a hot side and a cold side within the device. The Kettle filled with water serves as the cold side; the flame of your stove in contact with the baseplate is the hot side. As you bring the water to a boil, electricity is produced and sent to the Power Handle, leaving you with potable water and 10W of usable power.

It also comes with a heat-resistant flexible USB extender to keep your cord and electronics out of the heat when charging in real-time.
